   Found this beautiful sleepyhead sunning itself while I was mowing the yard. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/15b43802bd26b35507da0f491855277ad1a302370dcb944c40ae5a0da9793c99/view

   "From Sudbury to Fredericton" Tomorrow I will board a plane at the Sudbury airport and, connecting through Toronto, depart for Fredericton, New Brunswick.

The week-long meeting will bring students, post-docs, and career researchers f…

   On our walk last evening we came across a red-bellied snake, apparently one of the smaller snake varietals in Ontario. It was an extra treat since they are primarily nocturnal. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/2da4500aa1f7c958e2e87140bda0da1f67d0a7f08cdf2b107d538c5a85988b4b/view

   After a lovely dinner, @ jodi and I enjoyed a walk in the nearby trails. We particularly wanted to see where the bridge on this boardwalk was out for repairs, and it was gone gone - two barriers separated by a watery gap! https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/ac9fedb8d43394a23c0d30cc427551510db5787752f85a792247bb7c2287bab2/view

   A nice end to the week. A lovely afternoon, a Steam Whistle, and feet up on a chair on the patio. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/e9f3c56e78cc95f681433f995c50f0da9e0b2321dc94307c01641296b2745abe/view

   It has been intellectually invigorating to work with students again. They ask the best questions, leading to deep discussions about the nature of reality, the structure and value of mathematical ideas, and the character of physical law. They also remind me of how to view the universe with fresh eyes. I missed this.

   Very excited to go underground to the main lab at # SNOLAB tomorrow. On the menu: some machine learning related work for # HALO and a look at oxygen sensors in the Cube Hall as part of a separate machine learning project with a student. Short day, though: an all-hands meeting starts at noon, so we are up on the 11am cage.

    Only 90 minutes left to home. Whew. There is such a thing as sitting in a car (or a plane) too much at my present age. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/c34256e166577580cf5a2df03fc6769b8bd3be8613422a91dd75f7142c175ce2/view

    Had some fun sharing the book @ jodi and I are writing with a nephew who is taking pre-calculus next year. Not really sure what he thought about it, but there is no arguing that he's glimpsed the importance of calculus to the ongoing search for dark matter's constituents. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/650ddb541fe42d74112511875b8ce4f99c97045de2ad369ea4755d2de671ce13/view
